Add an API to add externally allocated memory to malloc heap. The
memory will be stored in memseg lists like regular DPDK memory.
Multiple segments are allowed within a heap. If IOVA table is
not provided, IOVA addresses are filled in with RTE_BAD_IOVA.

Add API to allow creating new malloc heaps. They will be created
with socket ID's going above RTE_MAX_NUMA_NODES, to avoid clashing
with internal heaps.
This breaks the ABI, so document the change.

An API is needed to check whether a particular socket ID belongs
to an internal or external heap. Prime user of this would be
mempool allocator, because normal assumptions of IOVA
contiguousness in IOVA as VA mode do not hold in case of
externally allocated memory.

When we will be creating external heaps, they will have their own
"fake" socket ID, so add a function that will map the heap name
to its socket ID.

Malloc heap is now a doubly linked list, so it's now possible to
iterate over each malloc element regardless of its state.

The function rte_malloc_virt2phy() is renamed to rte_malloc_virt2iova().
The deprecated name is kept as an alias to avoid breaking the API.

When populating a mempool with a virtual memory area, the mempool
library expects to be able to get the physical address of each page.
When started with --no-huge, the physical addresses may not be available
because the pages are not locked in memory. It sometimes returns
RTE_BAD_PHYS_ADDR, which makes the mempool_populate() function to fail.
This was working before the commit cdc242f260e7 ("eal/linux: support
running as unprivileged user"), because rte_mem_virt2phy() was returning
0 instead of RTE_BAD_PHYS_ADDR, which was seen as a valid physical
address.
Since --no-huge is a debug function that breaks the support of physical
drivers, always set physical addresses to RTE_BAD_PHYS_ADDR in memzones
or in rte_mem_virt2phy(), and ensure that mempool won't complain in that
case.

Move malloc inside eal and create a new section in MAINTAINERS file for
Memory Allocation in EAL.
Create a dummy malloc library to avoid breaking applications that have
librte_malloc in their DT_NEEDED entries.
This is the first step towards using malloc to allocate memory directly
from memsegs. Thus, memzones would allocate memory through malloc,
allowing to free memzones.
